Overview of business performance

After a very challenging fourth quarter of 2022, Hypoport SE started 2023 with a slightly positive performance in the first quarter. Important drivers included volume growth in key private mortgage finance business models and positive effects from groupwide cost-cutting measures implemented in the second half of 2022.

Compared with the record-breaking first quarter of 2022, the key financials inevitably deteriorated sharply in the first quarter of 2023. The exceptional circumstances in the private mortgage finance market from late summer 2022 onwards were described transparently and at length in the 2022 annual report. Against this backdrop, the Management Board of Hypoport SE believes that comparing key figures for the first quarter of 2023 with those of the fourth quarter of 2022 will offer much more meaningful insights for investors than a year-on-year comparison.

After presenting the results for the fourth quarter of 2022 at the start of this year, we could already see signs that the private mortgage finance market, which is crucial for many of Hypoport's business models, was starting to turn the corner. This perception has now been borne out by the modest increase in the transaction volume in the first quarter of 2023. While data published by Deutsche Bundesbank showed a slight downward trend in the volume of new business up to and including February 2023, we are of the opinion that the trend reversal is not yet reflected in these data sets for technical reasons related to the data collection method. Moreover, we are very confident that our business models are currently performing better than the overall market. The logic is simple: Interest rates have risen substantially while property prices have fallen only modestly. Obtaining neutral advice on a broad range of products in order to find favourable financing solutions has therefore become even more important for prospective property buyers. Comparing as many products as possible is becoming ever more valuable. This environment is benefiting independent mortgage brokers and our marketplaces. In addition, traditional IT solutions with their high fixed costs are increasingly becoming a millstone around the neck of market participants that have not yet migrated their business models. As the mortgage finance market halved in size in the space of twelve months, the transaction costs charged to new partners once they have migrated to our platforms halved as well. And partners that have already migrated are able to operate more successfully in these unusual times because of the flexibility with which they can configure their business model on the platform, for example with regard to active maturity transformation management.

The key performance indicators of the Hypoport Group have changed as follows from the fourth quarter of 2022 (adjusted for one-off items amounting to minus €4 million linked to cost-cutting measures and other factors) to the first quarter of 2023:

  • Revenue increased by 7 per cent to €94 million (Q4 2022: €88 million).
  • Gross profit fell by 4 per cent to €52 million (Q4 2022: €55 million).
  • EBITDA improved by 47 per cent to €9 million (Q4 2022: €6 million).
  • EBIT rose to €1 million (Q4 2022: loss of €3 million).
  • Net profit for the period increased to €0.2 million (Q4 2022: net loss of €2 million).

Business performance in detail

The shared objective of all Hypoport companies is the digitalisation of the credit, housing and insurance industries in Germany. To this end, the decentralised subsidiaries of Hypoport SE, which operate largely independently, are grouped into four segments: Credit Platform, Private Clients, Real Estate Platform and Insurance Platform.

Credit Platform segment

The segment centres around the online B2B lending marketplace Europace, which is the largest German marketplace for the sale of mortgage finance, building finance products and personal loans. After a very weak final quarter of 2022, Europace made a solid start to 2023, increasing its transaction volume* to €16 billion. This represents an improvement of 7 per cent compared with the fourth quarter of 2022. The volume of private mortgage finance transactions increased by as much as 10 per cent to €13 billion. Compared with the fourth quarter of 2022, the transaction volume in the building finance product group fell by 16 per cent to €2.1 billion in the first quarter of 2023. The steepest growth rate in the first quarter of the year was in the personal loans product group, where the volume jumped by 29 per cent to €1.4 billion. On FINMAS, the sub-marketplace for institutions in the savings banks sector, the volume of transactions rose by 17 per cent to €1.7 billion compared with the fourth quarter of 2022. In the cooperative banking sector, institutions used the dedicated GENOPACE sub-marketplace to generate a volume of €2.6 billion, a rise of 22 per cent.

The increase in the transaction volume on Europace, revenue from the white-label personal loan business, steady levels of revenue from corporate finance advisor REM Capital and a fall in revenue from the brokerage pools for independent loan brokerage advisors in the first quarter of 2023 produced total segment revenue of €38 million. This equates to a slight fall of 1 per cent compared with the last quarter of 2022. Over the same period, gross profit fell by 12 per cent to €22 million, mainly due to seasonal effects, while cost reduction measures helped to limit the deterioration in EBITDA and EBIT to 4 per cent and 9 per cent respectively. These cost reduction measures should be viewed in isolation from the continued high level of investment in the next generation of Europace and the expansion of key account resources, especially for regional banks and personal loans.

Private Clients segment

In the Private Clients segment, the web-based, non-captive financial product distributor Dr. Klein Privatkunden AG was able to gain significant market share in the first quarter of 2023 with the help of Europace. This shows that consumers preparing to make the milestone decision of buying a property are clearly interested in independent interest-rate comparisons across a broad range of products, combined with professional advice. The volume of new loans brokered by Dr. Klein 1 increased by 10 per cent compared with the fourth quarter of 2022 to €1.5 billion in the first quarter of 2023. This meant that the Private Client segment's total revenue improved by 26 per cent to €23 million over this period. The fact that revenue grew at a faster rate than the transaction volume can be explained by loan applications submitted near the end of 2022 that were not processed until the start of the new year. The gross profit remaining after deduction of selling expenses (lead acquisition fees and commission paid to franchisees) increased by 8 per cent to €7 million. EBITDA in the Private Clients segment climbed by 11 per cent to €2.3 million and EBIT by 13 per cent to €2.2 million.

Real Estate Platform segment

The focus for the property sales platform was again on acquiring new clients and expanding the platform offering. The total value of all properties sold via the platform in the first three months of 2023 amounted to around €2.3 billion, a decrease of 9 per cent compared with the fourth quarter of 2022. This can be explained by still lengthy lead times for property sales.

Meanwhile, the total value of properties valued via the property valuation platform edged down by 1 per cent to €8.2 billion, as it took a certain amount of time for the downturn in the mortgage finance market to show in the data.

1 All figures relating to the volume of financial products sold (mortgage finance, building finance and personal loans) are stated before cancellations.

The volume of new loans brokered on the property financing platform for the housing industry fell by 37 per cent to €0.3 billion in the first three months of 2023. As a result of the rapid rise in interest rates, surging construction and energy costs, and the waning appeal of the support programmes, the willingness to do business in the public-sector housing industry declined markedly compared with the final quarter of 2022, which had been boosted by seasonal effects.

The focus for the property management platform was once again on acquiring new clients. Further progress was made on this front, as more than 200,000 homes were being managed on the platform or being migrated to it as at the end of March 2023.

Compared with the fourth quarter of 2022, the segment's overall revenue advanced by 10 per cent to €16.4 million in the first quarter of 2023. The cost reduction measures implemented in the second half of 2022 started to pay off in the first three months of 2023. As a result, EBITDA improved to €1.1 million (Q4 2022: loss of €2.4 million). EBIT also improved considerably from a loss of €4.3 million to a loss of €1.0 million.

Insurance Platform segment

The volume of the private insurance portfolios migrated from the legacy systems to the SMART INSUR platform grew by 1 per cent to €3.83 billion. As usual, the increase compared with the previous quarter was only small due to the short time frame. In parallel with the migration, a process to validate the policy portfolios got under way in cooperation with the insurance companies in 2020. This validation is needed in order to be able to provide further added value, e.g. robo-advice. The validation rate of migrated policies remained over 30 per cent.

In the industrial insurance business, development of the Corify marketplace continued. The first product applications are set to go into testing in the second half of 2023.

The steps initiated in the second half of 2022 with the aim of adjusting the cost structures took full effect over the course of the reporting quarter, resulting in a €1 million fall in costs compared with the fourth quarter of 2022.

Major new partners, including the Funk Group and other industrial insurance brokers, were signed up or went live on ePension, the platform for occupational pension schemes.

The segment's revenue edged up by 1 per cent in the first three months of 2023, whereas gross profit went down by 19 per cent compared with the fourth quarter of 2022. Seasonal effects on the platform for occupational pension schemes explain why these figures moved in opposite directions. EBITDA declined slightly to €0.9 million (Q4 2022: €1.6 million) and EBIT to a loss of €0.5 million.

Financial position and financial performance

Earnings

The revenue of the Hypoport Group for the reporting period fell by 31 per cent compared with the first three months of 2022 – the most successful quarter in the Company's history – to €94 million against the backdrop of the positive operating performance described above for the first three months of 2023 and the approximately 50 per cent contraction of Germany's overall market for mortgage finance. Net of selling expenses, which fell at a slightly faster rate than revenue, gross profit decreased by 28 per cent to €52 million (Q1 2022: €73 million).

Thanks to the cost reduction programme implemented in the second half of 2022, personnel expenses dropped by 7 per cent to €40 million in the first quarter of this year (Q1 2022: €43 million). Other operating expenses were also well down as a result of the cost reduction programme, declining by 18 per cent to €10 million. This fall was largely attributable to lower travel costs, IT expenses, and legal and consultancy expenses.

Investment in the ongoing expansion of the platforms remained at a high level and, in fact, increased slightly despite the cost reduction programme, amounting to €11.7 million in the first quarter of 2023 (Q1 2022: €11.4 million). Of this total, €5.7 million was capitalised (Q1 2022: €5.9 million) and €6.0 million was expensed as incurred (Q1 2022: €5.5 million). This increase in investment despite the significant contraction of the overall market will ensure further growth in all segments, thereby benefiting our investors.

The sharp fall in revenue meant that the Hypoport Group's EBITDA amounted to €9 million in the period under review, a year-on-year decrease of 62 per cent (Q1 2022: €25 million). As expected, depreciation, amortisation expense and impairment losses rose to €9 million, which was up by 10 per cent compared with the prior-year period (Q1 2022: €8 million). Of this total, €5.1 million was attributable to intangible assets (Q1 2022: €4.4 million) and €3.5 million to property, plant and equipment (Q1 2022: €3.4 million). The latter mainly arose in connection with leases recognised in accordance with IFRS 16.

The EBIT of the Hypoport Group slid by 95 per cent to €1 million in the first three months of 2023 (Q1 2022: €17 million) owing to the fall in EBITDA and the rise in depreciation, amortisation expense and impairment losses. Net profit for the period declined to €0.2 million (Q1 2022: €13 million).

Balance sheet

The Hypoport Group's consolidated total assets as at 31 March 2023 amounted to €624 million, which was a 7 per cent increase on the total as at 31 December 2022 (€584 million). Within this total, non-current assets were virtually unchanged at €473 million. The rise in non-current intangible assets was attributable to development costs for the platforms of €96 million (31 December 2022: €94 million), whereas goodwill held steady at €229 million. The other changes were a reduction in property, plant and equipment due to depreciation on rental-related right-of-use assets recognised in accordance with IFRS 16 and an increase in deferred tax assets vis-à-vis the tax authorities. Other non-current assets were more or less unchanged.

Current assets jumped by 35 per cent to €151 million, primarily because of the inflow of cash and cash equivalents resulting from the €50 million capital increase in January 2023. Current receivables were down by €13 million compared with the end of 2022 because, as usual, clients paid the year-end commissions in the first quarter of the year.

The equity attributable to the shareholders of Hypoport SE as at 31 March 2023 had increased substantially, by 18 per cent or €50 million, to €321 million due to the capital increase. As a result, the equity ratio rose markedly from 46.7 per cent to 52.1 per cent.

The small 2 per cent increase in non-current liabilities to €209 million was primarily attributable to higher non-current liabilities to banks, whereas there was a further, planned fall in rental and lease liabilities recognised in accordance with IFRS 16. Other non-current liabilities mainly related to purchase price liabilities resulting from a debtor warrant.

Current assets fell sharply, by 14 per cent, to €90 million. The main reason for this was an €18 million drop in trade payables. In addition to various minor line items, other current liabilities mainly comprised purchase price liabilities – unchanged at €12.3 million – resulting from three debtor warrants and tax liabilities of €3.9 million (31 December 2022: €3.7 million).

Total current and non-current liabilities to banks edged up to €113.5 million (31 December 2022: €107.6 million), which can be explained by a new loan of €10 million and countervailing repayments.

Cash flow

The significant drop in EBIT in the first three months of 2023 meant that the Hypoport Group's cash flow of €11 million was well below the excellent level reported in the prior-year period (Q1 2022: €23 million). Including the reduced level of cash used for working capital (minus €4 million, compared with minus €10 million in the first quarter of 2022) on the back of the decrease in business activity, the net cash generated by operating activities declined by 50 per cent to €6 million (Q1 2022: €13 million).

The net cash outflow for investing activities fell slightly, from €9 million in the first quarter of 2022 to €8 million in the period under review.

The net cash of €55 million provided by financing activities (Q1 2022: net cash outflow of €6 million) predominantly related to the cash of €50 million received from the capital increase and to new bank loans of €10 million; these inflows were partly offset by the scheduled repayment of bank loans in an amount of €4 million and the repayment of rental liabilities in an amount of €2 million.

The Hypoport Group's total cash and cash equivalents increased by €53 million in the reporting period to reach a robust €83 million as at 31 March 2023.

Employees

The Hypoport Group had 2,217 employees as at 31 March 2023 (31 March 2022: 2,435). The number of employees was down by 176 compared with the end of 2022 (31 December 2022: 2,393).

Outlook

Our assessment of the sector-specific market environment for 2023 has not changed materially since we presented it in the 2022 annual report.

In the view of the Hypoport Management Board, the volume of mortgage finance will gradually improve over the course of 2023. This view is underpinned by the belief that the number of properties for sale will progressively increase during the year because rents are rising, there is growing demand for housing, and consumers are adjusting their expectations in respect of what constitutes an affordable property for them. One new insight is that prices for residential real estate did not fall further in the first quarter of 2023 (see the Europace house price index (EPX)), which should also help to quickly restore stability to levels of lending.

More detailed information can be found on pages 57 to 61 of the annual report.

Changes to the basis of consolidation; corporate transactions

The consolidation as at 31 March 2023 included all entities controlled by Hypoport SE in addition to Hypoport SE itself.

A detailed description of the basis of consolidation can be found on page 74 onwards of the 2022 annual report.

Subscribed capital

On 20 January 2023, the Management Board of Hypoport SE decided – with the consent of the Company's Supervisory Board – to increase the Company's subscribed capital against cash contributions by €378,788.00 from €6,493,376.00 to €6,872,164.00 by issuing 378,788 new, registered no-par-value shares ('New Shares'), partially utilising the authorised capital ('Capital Increase'), so that it can seize growth opportunities in the current phase of upheaval in the home ownership market. Shareholders' statutory pre-emption rights were disapplied. The 378,788 New Shares, with full dividend rights as of 1 January 2022, were placed with qualified investors as part of a private placement by way of an accelerated bookbuilding process.

Following this capital increase, the Company's subscribed capital amounted to €6,872,164.00 as at 31 March 2023 (31 December 2022: €6,493,376.00) and was divided into 6,872,164 (31 December 2022: 6,493,376) fully paid-up, registered no-par-value shares.
